<p>I would support a blanket policy by a school of NOT checking most rigorous curriculum for anyone. My D1 took 10 AP exams and it still was not the MOST rigorous curriculum. That’s absurd. I have no idea if the box was checked, but we didn’t care. They can tell colleges that in the school profile. They can tell the colleges that they don’t recommend the MOST rigorous curriculum for anyone, and that they have found too many students care more about getting that box checked than their own health. Therefore they won’t check the box for anyone. </p>
<p>Let the colleges figure out how rigorous a student’s curriculum is. I don’t care about college admissions, I care about education. </p>
<p>I don’t think kids should take APs for the purpose of getting that box checked. I think it’s better to take fewer APs in subjects they are interested in. But I also don’t think it’s up to me to tell students that they can’t study as hard as they want to. Some can and do just find. I don’t think the school should limit their education. </p>
<p>I’d like to eliminate the competition, not the education.</p>
